Gottman Method
Nikita Pion-Klockner, Holistic Therapy, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, LCSW-C
I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. In a safe, compassionate space, we explore your emotions, patterns, and relationships with curiosity and care. Together, we create room for healing, insight, and renewed connection — both to yourself and to the people who matter most in your life.

Gottman Method
Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. I work from a queer-affirming, trans-affirming, and trauma-informed lens to support individuals navigating identity, transition, relationships, and major life changes. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from their authenticity, or unsure of the next step. Together we create space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empowerment. Whether you're questioning, in transition, or working through old patterns, I’m here to support you in building a life that feels aligned with your truth. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel seen, grounded, and understood.

Gottman Method
Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.

Gottman Method
Erin Severe
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Is it difficult to communicate with your partner? Do you feel like you are drifting apart from each other after have the same arguments over and over? Are you coping with emotional or physical trauma? I help individuals and couples who are facing challenges in their relationships, neurodiversity, struggling with imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, mood or anxiety issues, coping with trauma, or managing the symptoms and effects of attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD) so that they can lead happier and more satisfying lives. I also run a support group for anyone going through separation or divorce.
Psychotherapy for couples and individuals looking to benefit from a supportive and collaborative environment. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and use a strengths-based approach to help you make changes in patterns of thinking and behaving and to find solutions to difficulties. I also use the Gottman Method and EFT to work with couples.
You’re here looking for help and that is and this is a great step towards making manageable changes and becoming the best version of yourself that you can be. Please contact me if you think that we would be a good fit to work together to achieve your goals. You can learn about me and all of our services on our website.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
